  1. Brining this thread back from the dead as I am searching for info on the easiest pad hacks for xbox1.

     

    I can see from the pic that you scrapped off the dpad area on the PCB. I've seen after pics of people soldering right to that area but never a decent tutorial on how to do it. You seem like you were going to try it but ended up soldering to the bottom of the PCB instead- Why?

    Hi sharpfork,

     

    so i tried to scratch the surface to find the copper, but I preferred to follow a better method

    following the tracks to spot points tinned for better soldering, you can keep a functional gamepad

    (mine was guinea pig) and dispose a DB-15 socket or whatever outgoing the memory slot like this

     

    http://www.xerxes3rd.net/staticpages/index...ontrollerOnXbox

     

    Here is another scheme for s-Pad (by spinal) i used to adjust value between button and ground, if you do this way

    you can avoid some burned controller due to previous test without those resistor (or messy ground feedback in a cab)

     

    there are two versions of the PCB S-pad, they are well differentiated in the tutorial but the pattern remains the same.

    In the diagram of the pad of the Xbox there are these resistors. So if you want the current drawn by the pad are exactly the same as your original controller, it must be put.

     

    One last thing: Do not forget if your controller is wired to common ground (like my cab) to reverse resistor and switch, in the scheme, move all resistor before the switches

     

    Good luck with the project and thanks for the info :)

    Thanks man, sorry I missed this one, took me years

  2. I was building console2jamma cabinet since mid 90's, beginning from pc-engine followed by saturn,

    Pc based emulation growing i considered an arcade-OS installation for a while but never satisfied

    with the feeling / ergonomic / boot time and overall plus not interested in later 3d games and upgrading

    hardware having scan rate issue to mess with.

     

    Since Xbox was the cheapest solution to restore a cab and keep a CRT look, i found easier to replace the inside with a RGB TV

    keeping his 'front panel' shortened on the side by dremel and black painted (side speakers remounted behind the marquee )

    then you don't have to worry about handling the whole tube, it's still partially attached to the front plastic shell which itself leaning mostly on support.

     

    Fastest way to get the things up IMO, bonus, you can use remote to control volume and keep media input

     

    This is a Qix empty cabinet that was given, just had to replace some parts and drill extra holes.

  3. just wondering if there is any interest if so then i will put them out there but it wont be for a few weeks.

    Sure man, wondering how much other worthy release out there ?

    we ve alread got 'Soul Calibur 2 Reloaded'

    Features:
    
    Extra costumes for EVERY character
    Mortal Kombat announcer
    Heihachi's moves from the PS2 version have been mapped to Necrid (This actually works REALLY well. The glow from Hei's gauntlets has been transfered over, the moves really fit Necrid as well. Also, it looks badass having him clench his lead hand (giant claw) over and over again like Heihachi does. Really smart idea doing that.)
    New lifebars and win markers
    Updated stages: New colors, artwork. ETC...
    New title screen... and more!
    
    Known bugs:
    
    Game freezes if you completely cycle through Berserker's costumes
    Team battle/extra team battle are known to freeze
    Survival mode anouncer starts glitching out after around round 15 or so. Example: instead of "Round 18, fight!" it's like "Round *DISTORTION* fight!"
    Slight *pop* sound when first character starts his/her opening match routine

     

     

    and Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate [herbsta edition] 'a must seed'

    This is an XISO image of a special version of Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate for xbox 1...
    
    several years ago i was a member of a hacking website and we developed many skins and hacks for this game...
    
    About this mod:
    
    this mod has added several modded skins for each female character in doa2u.
    
    there are a few topless/nude skins available from the start but to get the naked skins for each doa girl you must have a save file with all costumes unlocked from normal version of game or just unlock them yourself..
    
    
    a lot of hard work went into making the stuff necessary for this mod... please enjoy and HELP ME SEED because im on crappy dsl here and can only upload at a pitiful rate... i will do my best but i will need help from my pirate brethren.

    Wish crazypsymon could finish his bloody roar extreme mod

    and still looking around for some new backgrounds.

  4. Hello again, i may be wrong, but can't get the main menu option for bgm sound volume 0-100% to be effective or save the new value, as from the first FBL.

     

    And a small request for UI, the possibility to enable more option by default for emulation like 'Frame Skipping' or 68K overclock value.

  5. The list is progressing fine. It was only an idea to save myself time by asking others to contribute, but it will get done either way.

    Good idea, is there a public list already ? Previously, Ressurectionx setted up 1.3 spread sheet. worth trying setting up another one with the filter or dropping here some names

     

    By the way wich is the best tool to build a file/title list without NeoGeo, CPS, Cave, Psykio, PGM ?

  6. noticed some issue with games

     

    Global Defense (aka SDI or Strategic Defense ) - normally left controller for satellite, right for sight, but control moves both

     

    powerinstinct legends - control drifting problem

     

    Samurai Spririt 5 special ( returns to rom selction after a short loading without any message)

     

     

    It would be cool if fbl allowed multiple mapping for a function on controller, you could clone a function to have autofire and keep it normal for charge on the other....

  7. That's great garcimak, now we have proof of concept to the rest of the world out there! :)

    :unsure: Stress my a**, when i was stuck on slow motion yesterday, fine hello world finally :)

     

    So it works great if you launch the normal xbe? Interesting.. What happens if you launch vc3_t.xbe?

    Resuts black screen, you can hear 1sec of drive read, then nothing.

    I m maybe wrong somewhere, test menu won't show up.

     

    Real Chihi only have 700mhz according to Wikipedia, so I'm pretty optimistic it is possible to run this without the 1.4ghz CPU as well..

    Just curious, did you 1400mhz patched the game before using it?

    Nope throwed as it is.

  8. Update, noticed the same behaviour when testing on component, the game is starting at full speed only with a

    mem card mounted, in my way to test if the game is ckecking the presence of a memory card inserted,...

     

    Quick edit : it's driving me crazy, after removing mem card, it's now launching good i can't understand (still on 128MB 1.4G )

     

    i ll check again on a crt in a couple of days, and post a (bad) gameplay video

     

    current gameplay with joypad sight

    You can see this is awful to play without light gun...

     

     

    yes i was one of the first to buy one back when it had the heating problem i was very careful with it never used it without an AC turned on in the room

    the last time i was ftp coinops 2 to it 23gb i turned it off and it never turned on again :( i contact trusty and he tried to help out i did everything he told me

    and still no go but it was totally worth it to own one even for 6 month i enjoyed it next time i will order 2 from him :peopleseybrow:

     

    I HOPE NEXT TIME I ORDER FROM HIM I WILL GET A DISCOUNT IAM A REGULAR AFTER ALL :)

    Too bad 1st batch had overheating problem (like 360's) but he can fix that, i know of some member that returns him the board later installation was more durable,

    stays under and around 50°c when used, Shipping was the most expensive of all at but overall incredible change due to china, worth the 'risk' afterall.

  9. Ok guys some news about this

     

    tested with 128mb Trusty board Bios X2 5035 (game stored in E:/GAMES/VCOP3)

     

    CRT TV /RGB scart cable :

    --> hangs on black screen (reboots when EJECT)

     

    CRT TV /COMPOSITE Cinch cable :

    --> 'STARTING UP VIRTUA COP 3' on screen,

    brings the DISCLAIMER screen, you can go further but it is slow as hell...

     

    Same behaviour described, you can hear normal music though.

     

    Compare to 'normal start' on component input, timing are slow from launch.

     

    That makes me think video output could be the issue

    not the ghz upgrade..

     

    I have to retry and film on a lcd projector tonight it's the only way

    i can manage 480P - COMPONENT INPUT - (but no more gun option possible :/ )

    Maybe xbe can be patched to output analog V-signal.

  10. Low FPS makes perfectly sense if we actually need 256mb or more (which isn't possible)

    We need more input from 128mb users!! How's the speed?

    The speed was normal during 1st level (on a trusty 1.4G /128MB ) i'll try ta make a video for all to see ASAP.

    sorry further testing later as am away from home without a gun to play cross hair by analog make it hard to enjoy...

     

    @carlo3do

    With your Trusty board i suspect overheating issue, did you motherboad fried by cpu ?

    was it from the 1st batch ?

  11. yeah i know what you mean,i was looking at some vids of ollie king and i am wondering if that particular arcade board does use 64mb of ram.

     

    edit

    what interests me most from that list is

    ghost squad

    virtua cop 3

    ollie king

    Most wanted, wonder if 'Freeze on XBE loading screen' issue is due to Xbe or high mem alloc error.

    Link posted by FrankMorris over emuXtra Document

    describing steps to achieve this.

  12. wish Tecmos Xainsleena also be added so i can throw the PCB away

    I did write a driver for that a while back. I'll have to dig it out (I'll trade you for the PCB ;)).

    You rock man, would be honoured to throw you that one, very touchy board voltage wise ... still in order.

    I'm very eager to play the result , until now xbox couldn't hold a candle to the original

  13. One quick question for anyone who might know - are there any analog settings for Sega games, as analogue steering on Turbo Outrun, Power Drift Hang on, space harrier etc etc. Gameplay is a bit harsh without it.

     

    Looking forward to great addition, cheers all.

     

    I was curious about this too.

    I never played the original machines, so I don't know

    how exactly the controller sensitivity should look like...

     

    Maybe this setting already could be performed by

    the analog sensitivity option?

    Or dead zone option...

    Something like that... The one we see in the ingame menu.

     

    Regards!

    <C>

    Thanks , tried this, it seems the dead zone is another parameter linked to the pad itself, not the game playability.

     

    Space harrier arcade was also the best on hydraulics imo, you could move you character and making him stay anywhere as long you can keep the right 'angle' with the analog lever, the same for Hang on, where you had to keep down the bike as much you need to keep the curve.

  14. One quick question for anyone who might know - are there any analog settings for Sega games, as analogue steering on Turbo Outrun, Power Drift Hang on, space harrier etc etc. Gameplay is a bit harsh without it.

     

    Looking forward to great addition, cheers all.

  15. Playing through new addition is eye tearing, such a great job and improvements porting to old xbox, praise iq_132 !

     

    Request/thoughts about romlist : as no left/right trigger available from panel,

    smooth auto scroll when holding d-pad up or down

    ala xbmc (with a slight noise - to give the menu some consistency),

     

    Left / right could be better used for section (numbers-letters) jump.

    Actually, try to go to the top with fast jump (left) and you'll be stuck in the beginning of the first screen's list.

     

    Also, going one step down at very end of list should warp you to the first entry.

     

    Controller setup :

    That would be neat to have some 'profile' that could be mapped globally to game filters, like a special mapping for neogeo, another for cpsx ...for instance, do we have to set each game settings one by one or using external script to generate the per game ini's ?

     

    Aside, good work on pixel perfect guys, following your finding closely.

  16. sounds like the power connector has blown,its actually very easy to fix as you can just swap it out with another xbox power insert.just a couple of screwdrivers are needed.

    the power inserts can be problamtic especially if you disconect the power chord from the power insert on the xbox quite a lot.

    Trusty is selling spare parts like charger for cheap, i agree for any donation to coders. Especially in this case.

  17. Great to see update like this still coming for xbox, thanks

    just a little surprise ahead of time, im gonna be adding in 2 xbes. one for the normal stuff and the other where you u will have a filter that flips the levels backwards. i was sent the code to add it in this morning to try out. gonna add it in and it'll be a little something fun to mess around with, youlll be playing the classics right to left scrolling instead of left to right hahah.

    :)

    i havent had a chance to test it out myself but gonna make for something interesting on vertical shooters and racer games. def a new spin on the old classics. :)

    Expecting tilting screen / visual / gameplay wise, eager to know
